I am absolutely delighted with the Breville Zen 4-Slice Cream Toaster. Its elegant combination of cream and silver chrome not only complements my kitchen decor but adds a touch of retro charm. The design is sleek and minimalistic, and it fits perfectly on my countertop without taking up too much space. I appreciate the high-quality finish, and the overall build feels solid and durable, ensuring this toaster will stand the test of time.
What really stands out is the functionality. The wide slots are perfect for toasting various bread types — whether it’s thick bagels, crumpets, or standard slices. I’ve had no issues fitting in larger artisan slices, and everything comes out evenly toasted, which is a huge plus. The **high-lift feature** is fantastic; it makes it so easy to retrieve smaller items without burning my fingers, something I didn’t realize I needed until I had it!
Another feature I love is the individual toasting controls for each side. It allows me to toast different types of bread simultaneously, and the variable browning control means I can get my toast exactly how I like it. The toaster also includes a defrost function and a reheat option, both of which work flawlessly. I’ve found the defrost feature particularly useful for quickly preparing frozen bread without compromising texture or taste.
The Toaster not only looks good but performs beautifully. It’s quick, efficient, and consistently delivers perfectly toasted bread. The removable crumb trays make cleaning up a breeze, and the overall design is practical yet stylish. I highly recommend this toaster to anyone looking for a reliable, well-designed, and attractive appliance for their kitchen.
Excellent 4 style toaster – works very well, sturdy & durable! Looks stylish and modern too, as well as not taking too much space either. This is a fast toaster, does not make a lot of noise and is a good value for money! Super happy with this and would recommend
I like it because its not to big and fits neatly into a small space… Easy to use with different settings on either side… But you do find that one side of the bread is toasted more than the other side.. Doesnt toast evenly but its still okay… Looks very cheap as its just plastic but it does its job what more can you ask for…
Very pleased with our new toaster good value for money with the many settings to choose from The quality is really good and it looks very smart in our kitchen. Excellent product.
The design of this toaster is great. I like the sort of retro look of it with nice simple dials and buttons. It is 4 slot toaster so it is fairly big one. However, the slots are nicely wide so you can fit a lot of different kinds of bread. As most toasters this one is as easy to use as any other.
4 stars because the first slot on the left gets stuck all the time. I have to give it a littl bit of pull to get it unstuck and than it will work for few times until it gets stuck again. Slightly disappointing.
I like that there is crumbs tray but it is a shame that it is accessible from the back rather than front.
Overall, it is amazing 3 slot toaster:) but shame that one slot have problems. Maybe over a time it will work better but for now it needs a little bit of a pull to start working.
Lovely, big, four-slice toaster. It looks stylish, it’s from a reputable brand and it functions exactly as you would expect.
I have had numerous sessions of toast and marmite now and can confidently state that this does toast effectively and efficiently.
I am not sure about the extra “functions”, the defrost and reheat buttons.. Seems that defrost just toasts for a little longer, where as reheat just toasts a little shorter.. Probably easier just to adjust this parameter with the rotary dial rather than sticking extra confusing functions buttons on the device!
Anyway, decent toaster, it toasts, enjoy your toast.
This toaster has quite a nice retro look, the design is clean and fairly easy to use.
First the test of whether bread fits in the slots, I tested this using council issue sliced white. The top of the bread does protrude from the toaster, but only by about 1cm, which is pretty good.
It works the same way as any other toaster. It does have three buttons on each side, one is cancel, another for frozen bread, the last for keep warm. The contrast on these buttons is quite low so they are hard to read, though once pressed they light up to show it is activated.
The result is well toasted bread. Very happy with this toaster.
This is a great looking, cream 4 slice toaster from Breville. I hadn’t seen the range before but I love that you can get a matching kettle, it’s very stylish with the ridges and minimalistic design so I would be tempted to complete the set.
This has the usual heat adjustment, I like that you can raise the toast to check the colour without having to pop it up completely, this is a useful feature.
The bread toasts well and has illuminated buttons which look great with the usual settings. The slots are nice and wide and can accommodate chunky slices, crumpets etc.
Recommended, a great toaster at a decent price, very happy with this!
Sleek, easy to wipe clean design
Four slot toaster
Good wide apertures so can easily fit in chunky crumpets etc.
You can push the lever up really high to get out smaller items without burning yourself
Removable crumb trays
A couple of very minor defects pictured that have no bearing on function
Cooks toast however you like it – whether super pale or super crispy!
We store our toaster on a shelf when not in use and the design is great for this as it’s a cuboid shape
Lovely colour that matches other appliances in our kitchen
Decent length of cord
Great toaster – we love it.
